"What are you doing?" Sang Qian exclaimed, quickly wrapping herself tightly in the blanket. Although she was wearing pajamas, she felt as if she were naked in front of the other person.
Zuan smiled and said, "Didn't you let me in?"
Sang Qian nearly fainted from anger: "Is that what I meant?!"
"Just kidding, don't be so angry." Zuan didn't approach, but found a stool near the door and sat down. To put the other person at ease, he deliberately didn't close the door. "I just came to talk to you, otherwise I have some doubts that I can't resolve."
Seeing that he didn't intend to offend her further, Sang Qian gradually calmed down: "Are you wondering why I'm not holding you accountable?"
“That’s right.” This was the thing that Zu’an couldn’t understand the most. Although this world was more open than ancient times, it still attached great importance to women’s chastity. For a lady from a respectable family like her, such a thing would ruin her life’s happiness at the very least, and at worst, the entire Sang family would be looked down upon. So why did she act as if nothing had happened?
Sang Qian's chest heaved rapidly, clearly indicating that she was engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
After a long pause, she took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'll tell you the reason: because our Sang family needs to continue its bloodline."
Zuan: "???"
What is this? He was stunned for a long time.
A blush flashed across Sang Qian's face, but she couldn't care less about that now: "Because my eldest brother died young without leaving any heirs, our Sang family is facing the risk of extinction. My father thought the best outcome would be for my sister-in-law to get pregnant, so that we could announce to the outside world that she was my brother's posthumous child. But in that case, the child my sister-in-law gave birth to would not have the blood of the Sang family. So my father asked me to take her place, and the child I give birth to would be announced to the outside world as my sister-in-law's posthumous child."
Zuan was completely bewildered, his eyes wide with disbelief. Had he really encountered those old tricks from his past life, like those people offering huge sums of money to have a child on telephone poles?
The key point is that this doesn't seem to be a scam; I didn't lose anything, but instead gained a lot.
"So you and your uncle..." Zu An was interrupted by Sang Qian, who was both embarrassed and angry, before he could finish speaking.
"I didn't know about this before, I only found out last night. I was put there after my acupoints were sealed, but you bastard can't even tell the difference between people, you just charge in without caring about anything!" Sang Qian's eyes were red, and she sadly shed tears as she spoke.
Zu An walked over and handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Sang Qian originally wanted to say not to touch her, but feeling the pity in his eyes, she silently took the handkerchief.
"Why did you tell me the truth?" Zuan sighed.
Sang Qian gradually composed herself: "Although I don't mind lying, I've never thought of using my body to lie to people."
There was another reason she didn't mention: she was always resourceful, so how could she not have thought of what her father wanted?
She knew that with Zu'an's quick wit, he would probably realize what was going on soon, so it was better to make things clear from the beginning and build a good relationship with him.
If my father were to say this himself, it would not only damage the Sang family's reputation, but also be full of utilitarianism and calculation.
But she is different as a victim. By taking advantage of the other party's current sense of guilt, she can not only speak out without offending him, but also gain his sympathy.
Sure enough, as a man, no one can resist a woman's touching tears. He sighed, "I don't know how to say this. I'm sorry to have wronged you."
What he really wanted to say was, why hide such a thing? Just tell me directly that I'm very willing to help.
Unfortunately, he also knew that this was not the right time to say such things.
Sang Qian wiped away her tears: "Alright, now you understand the cause and effect, so you don't need to feel guilty anymore, and you don't need to keep asking me all sorts of questions."
Seeing that he wanted to say something more, Sang Qian raised her hand to interrupt him: "If you really feel any remorse, please promise me that you will keep this a secret. Don't let my sister-in-law and my father know that you already know about this. Leave the Sang family with the last bit of dignity."
Seeing the tears welling up in her eyes, filled with pleading, Zu An could understand her feelings at that moment. After all, this was not something to be proud of, and if it got out, it would be a huge scandal.
“Okay, I promise you,” Zuan solemnly promised.
"Thank you," Sang Qian said softly, her eyelashes fluttering slightly as she lowered her head.
"Uh, one last question."
"What?"
How can you be sure you were pregnant last night?
Sang Qian blushed, bit her lip, and said, "I don't know."
She was still too embarrassed to tell him that her father had given her a fertility pill; it was too shameful.
After a long silence, Zuan tentatively asked, "Should we try a few more times?"
"Get out!" He was met with a flying pillow.
Anger from Sang Qian: +222 +222 +222...
Zu An left her room with a smile. Of course, he didn't really have that idea. He just saw that Sang Qian looked depressed these past two days and was worried that she would get sick from keeping it all bottled up inside. He just wanted to let her vent completely.
He arrived at Zheng Dan's room, where the servants and maids were already asleep. With his current cultivation level, he wouldn't disturb them.
"Who is it?" Zheng Dan's sharp voice came after entering the room.
"It's me." Hearing the other person's voice, Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. This time, he wouldn't make a mistake again.
He slipped effortlessly into the fragrant bed, but Zheng Dan stopped his mischievous hand, her beautiful eyes sparkling in the darkness: "Did something happen between you and Xiaoqian?"
